Director Joss Whedon has confirmed that he won't be returning to direct the "Avengers: Infinity War" movies as well as any "Avengers" films for that matter, the "Age of Ultron" director reveals this in an interview with Empire Magazine.
"I couldn't imagine doing this again. It's enormously hard, and it [will] be, by [the time I would make 'Avengers 3 & 4′], a good five years since I created anything that was completely my own. So it's very doubtful that I would take on the two-part Infinity War movie that would eat up the next four years of my life," he claimed.
Since "Age of Ultron" will be his last in the director's chair, rumors have surfaced that "Winter Soldier" tag team brothers Joe and Anthony Russo will be helming the "Infinity War" films.
If that's the case, what's next for Whedon? He reveals in an interview with Buzzfeed that it "feels wrong" that he hasn't created his "own universe" in over five years, but still would like to be a part of Marvel's universe.
He also discussed the possibilty of directing "Captain Marvel."
"I would never rule anything out, because I like working here. By the same token, the biggest thing for me is that I need to do something that I create myself. It's been way too long since I created a universe. The last thing I did before The Avengers was [directing an episode of] Glee, and in between I did Much Ado About Nothing. So I haven't created my own universe for over five years. That feels wrong."
